If You Don't Typically File

Low-income taxpayers, senior citizens who don't receive Social Security, some veterans, and individuals with disabilities can file a return in order to receive their economic impact (stimulus) payment.

Stimulus Aid Updates

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The $2 trillion stimulus package provides economic relief for Americans
and American businesses that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Fast Facts

You may receive as much as $1,200 per person ($2,400 per couple and $500 per dependent) if your income does not exceed $99,000 as an individual or $198,000 as a couple.

If you already filed your 2018 or 2019 tax return, the IRS will deliver your stimulus check using the information from the most recent return filed.

Eligibility

Tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will receive the full payment.
For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$150,000 thresholds. Single filers with income
exceeding $99,000 and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible.
